Are you trying to assert that hospitals wouldn't have been overwhelmed if we didn't lock down at all? Even the people that wanted to go with the 'let everyone get sick for herd immunity' plan weren't going that far!

> That makes as much sense as wanting to increase government regulations but defund police to enforce those new regulations.

...what's the contradiction? You don't enforce regulations with police.

Using police for the wrong job is half of the problem that "defund the police" is trying to address.
